Chateau Rocheyron 2023

JAMES SUCKLING: "This is so muscular yet elegant, with super-intense tannins that make the finish leaner but so long. The character of blackberry and lead pencil is intense. Goes on for minutes. 80% merlot and 20% cabernet franc."

FALSTAFF: "Dunkles Rubingranat, opaker Kern, violette Reflexe, zarte Randaufhellung. Schwarze Kirschfrucht, zart nach Lakritze, Brombeerkonfit, zart nach Orangenzesten. Saftig, mineralisch, frische rote Kirschen, seidige Tannine, finessenreich, saftige Mitte, zarte Extraktsüße im Abgang, elegant und anhaftend, frisch, voll Energie, ein delikater Speisenbegleiter."

THE WINE ADVOCATE: "Another beautiful wine from Sisseck and his team, the 2023 Rocheyron wafts from the glass with aromas of dark berries and plums mingled with notions of licorice and violets. Medium to full-bodied, velvety and seamless, it's polished and complete, with an enveloping core of fruit framed by supple, powdery tannins."
